But Boone's mismanaging inflicts a double burden on the team: not only failing to use his best relievers in high-leverage situations, but failing to use them at all if it might ruffle a few ego feathers of his leading staff prima donnas.<br /><br />Also--to give credit where it's due: the idea of using the team's best relievers in high-leverage situations, regardless of the inning, originated in the analytics community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-33019074313222273752019-06-14T13:31:13.332-04:002019-06-14T13:31:13.332-04:00Lose by the book.

As somebody said—probably Capt. Hook hims...Agreed. As somebody said—probably Capt. Hook himself, the great Sparky Anderson—anybody can change the pitcher after he's lost the lead.<br /><br />When teams first started using relievers on a regular basis, the idea was to try to get your starters to go 7 or more, then bring in your big ace to slam the door.<br /><br />LaRussa, of course, made this considerably more involved, using a number of different relievers for different situations.<br /><br />Most managers, though, still stuck with the idea of at least saving the closer for when you had a lead in the ninth. <br /><br />Hey, I dunno: maybe that works best, psychologically, for all concerned.<br /><br />But with the others, at least, you have to be more flexible. If you're going to put 9-10 relievers on your staff, as the Yanks have been doing this year, then you have to be ready to throw some in. <br /><br />As many have pointed out, there are certain, key moments in most games that you have to get through. If the crisis comes in the 5th, why are you saving your no. 2 reliever, say, for the 8th? You should at least consider slotting him—or even your closer—in there to kill the rally. If you get by that, then you can start worrying about the 8th.<br /><br />This is all very much a judgement call, I know, and it won't always work out. But right now, the way Boone is doing it is how to lose by the book.HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-47007483355962294952019-06-14T02:37:39.078-04:002019-06-14T02:37:39.078-04:00The problem with tonight's game was Boone. It ...The problem with tonight's game was Boone. It was obvious that Happ was losing it fast in the fifth inning as he began his third go-round through the lineup. As the line drives piled up, I thought, "Why isn't he out of the game already?" Boone, like Girardi before him, seems to adhere to the philosophy that you cannot give offense to frail ego of a veteran pitcher by removing him from a game until he has done catastrophic, irreversible damage--no preventive removal is allowed. Then, and only then, after it is already far too late, is it polite to take the ball from The Veteran.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-571537070104410952019-06-14T02:33:15.326-04:002019-06-14T02:33:15.326-04:00Hey Resident Genius HC66--Think maybe it would be ...Hey Resident Genius HC66--Think maybe it would be a good idea to look at Keuchel's numbers at the end of the season before judging whether it was right not to overpay for him?

Happ was already up around 80 pitches by the end of the 4th.<br /><br />What Boone HAS to do there is have the pen up and ready, and stick someone in at the first sign of trouble.<br /><br />This is the thing: even if Happ somehow has a terrific 5th, he's probably coming out in the 6th anyway, due to pitch count. And you know that it's much more likely he's going to plunge into trouble again.<br /><br />If you give him the quick hook and get out of the 5th with a lead, then you can use the 45 relievers you have out there to maybe get to a win without anyone being overworked.<br /><br />If your first guy in gets slugged, and you fall behind anyway, well, then you can make it a Cessa/Holder night. But you have to try to stop the big inning when it's looming, not hold onto guys you might never even get to use.<br /><br />What Boone did today was the worst of both worlds. He ended up needing 3 innings and 62 pitches from 3 relievers while losing anyway.<br /><br />He's got to stop pretending his starters can regularly go 7 innings. They can't. They have enough trouble going 5 or 6.HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-60476036037345766342019-06-14T00:18:45.394-04:002019-06-14T00:18:45.394-04:00It's like watching the same game over and over...It's like watching the same game over and over and over. <br /><br />Yankees take lead (big)<br />Starter blows lead in the 4th or 5th. <br />Bullpen gives up additional runs. <br />sometimes the Yankees score again.
